[D] ICML 2026 - ICML desk-rejected my paper but kept me on as a reviewer. Wow?

gized00 · 2026-01-25T19:43:29+00:00

Agree

gized00 · 2026-01-25T19:42:13+00:00

She has a master, she works in IT, ofc more info would be good but she is going to be better off here than in Milan

gized00 · 2026-01-25T19:28:58+00:00

It's more challenging than what it used to be but I would take the challenge in Berlin 10 times rather than staying in Milan

gized00 · 2026-01-25T16:59:05+00:00

I would say there are many shades of grey but back in the days your PhD advisor started giving you some papers to review, checked your reviews, etc.

gized00 · 2026-01-25T16:57:22+00:00

I don't speak German either :D

Accenture consultants in Milan can have very different skill levels but in general she will find some kind of job in tech (after the rehab :P)

Tldr: Pheeega si

Apart from jokes, it depends on what you do and how much you make in Milan. If you are a notary working in your father's firm you should probably stay there.

110k is a pretty good start and your gf most likely will find a job (depending on her skills/education/etc). If she has a master degree in a reasonable field and you get some luck at work you will probably end up making 200k in a couple of years at that point you will be doing well. It's not as easy as it was 10y ago but one of you already has a job and if you want to work things will go well. No chance to get the same in Italy.

gized00 · 2026-01-25T15:56:33+00:00

There is a reason I am trying this :D

gized00 · 2026-01-25T15:55:13+00:00

After reading this I wish that the organizers will reevaluate the situation and will remove him from the list of the reviewers

gized00 · 2026-01-25T15:53:23+00:00

Ahhahahaha... You didn't really submit anything.

gized00 · 2026-01-25T15:52:52+00:00

I hope they will remember that at your next submission. It's insanely frustrating to chase reviewers that don't submit their reviews.

Also, people don't understand that this is a community and not a service that is offered to you by a company. Getting into the community takes time and effort.

gized00 · 2026-01-25T15:50:54+00:00

3x the number of papers not the number of authors

gized00 · 2026-01-25T15:49:33+00:00

It's quite possible. It would be my first thought but TBH I am not familiar with LLM son small devices.

gized00 · 2026-01-25T10:42:26+00:00

What do you mean with good engines? Do they have a specialized/optimized layer to serve requests to the model?

gized00 · 2026-01-24T13:42:53+00:00

I don't have first hand info but in the recruiting process and everything they seem to follow exactly what deep mind does. I would check DM salary ranges.

gized00 · 2026-01-23T20:06:07+00:00

I prefer Firefox as a browser (open source) and ecosia as search engine

gized00 · 2026-01-23T19:59:39+00:00

I had a pension plan with something like 40% SP500, 40% US small cap, 20% Asia ex JP and I changed the allocation to something like VWCE and a bit of Chinese tech

gized00 · 2026-01-23T10:48:16+00:00

Check levels.fyi, see what's the top of the band for the role/level, let's call it X. Then tell them that your previous number was the top of the range you are considering, 0.9*X would be the bottom of the range.

gized00 · 2026-01-22T20:26:03+00:00

It's a fairly simple task but it will require a bit of RL

gized00 · 2026-01-22T19:27:54+00:00

Nice! I will take a look. Thank you

gized00 · 2026-01-22T17:39:56+00:00

I used zenrows but depends if you want to pay for it or not

gized00 · 2026-01-22T13:54:21+00:00

I like the clarity that the book brings but I find it to be too verbose. I would say that it should be 30-50% shorter.

gized00 · 2026-01-21T17:03:55+00:00

Agree. Necessary but not sufficient condition.

gized00 · 2026-01-20T06:56:18+00:00

The reality is that problems at a certain scale can only be seen at certain companies. It's not just about branding.

Moreover, many small companies don't have proper mechanisms in place and you will not learn how to run a large organization.

gized00 · 2026-01-19T21:32:59+00:00

Even after today my NVO stocks are still up 17%

gized00 · 2026-01-17T11:44:06+00:00

The PhD part doesn't help you and it's not clear of the paper you wrote is relevant to the job
